Good afternoon everyone, today il be taking you through the steps of modifying your feed count. Ive had loads of e-mails asking how i designed my "stay connected" box and how i displayed my RSS count as pure text and not a feed burner image.
To display your feedburner RSS count as text we need to just add two snippets of code to our website. Open up a blank notepad document copy and paste the code below.
| <?php //get feedburner count $whaturl="https://feedburner.google.com/api/awareness/1.0/GetFeedData?uri=hvdesigns"; //Initialize the Curl session $ch = curl_init(); //Set curl to return the data instead of printing it to the browser. curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); //Set the URL curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $whaturl); //Execute the fetch $data = curl_exec($ch); //Close the connection curl_close($ch); $xml = new SimpleXMLElement($data); $fb = $xml->feed->entry['circulation']; //end get feedburner count |
Where "hv-designs" is in the 1st bif of code, change that to your feed. Save the blank notepad document as "rss.php", save it in the root of your websites directory. Now copy and paste the code below.
| <?php include("rss.php"); ?> |
Paste it any where inside the body of your website. Now all you need to do is add the code below.
| <?php echo $fb;?> |
Then paste it inside your website where you want the RSS count to be.
